In fact, the game was so successful and well-made that people still play it today. We could argue that only those who had the chance to play GTA 3 during its prime want to revisit it today, but there are lovers of retro games out there who did not get the chance to enjoy this masterpiece back then. However, it seems that Windows 10 users are having trouble getting it to work because it is a 20-year-old game, made for older versions of Windows. Thankfully, there are solutions that will fix your problem and allow you to see experience gaming as it was in the 2000s.
How can I get GTA 3 to work on Windows 10?
1. Install the GTA 3 patch
2. Install DirectX
Almost all games require one of the many DirectX versions available, including GTA 3. If you just installed Windows 10, you probably don’t have DirectX 11 installed in your system, so you need to download and install it. Note: Windows 10 comes with DirectX 12 preinstalled. However, some older games are not compatible with the newest version of DirectX, so installing a previous version of the software is a good choice.
3. Reinstall the game
4. Verify Game Data (For Steam users)
Note: This only works for those who bought Grand Theft Auto III on the Steam store. These solutions will fix your GTA 3 problems, making it launch and fixing any possible resolution mismatching you could get. Go ahead and enjoy one of the most precious jewels of the game industry.
